It seems that the RPG Toolkit, the TK community, the Mystic Software community and other TK related communities are slowly dying and fading away into nothingness. Many oldbies have left, are leaving or are about to leave. Many old sites have fallen away or have stopped being updated. Everyone seems to have left. I was looking through the old topics on the general discussion forum and half the people there I do not even know.

I believe the TK is in a crisis. Why is this? What, if anything, can be done about it?

 Runaway with my hope...
 If I could make you mine...I\'ll go whereever you will go.\"

 Who will be there to take my place...
 When I\'m gone, You\'ll need love...To light the shadows on your face.\"

\"If a great wave should fall...
 It would fall upon us...
 Well I hope there\'s someone out there...Who can bring me back to you.\"

\"Way up high or down low...I\'ll go wherever you will go.\"

\"Runaway with my love.\"

In your heart and mind, I\'ll stay with you all of time...

That is reassuring, but nothing seems to be happening.

Hey, it happens. TK3 is still a bit unstable...as soon as it picks up, the TK and the communtiy will flourish again.

How do you know? How do you know that most of the people who left have not left permanently. It will probably take a huge amount of time before there is a stable TK3, there might never be, at this rate there might be noone left before that happens. There would probably have to be a very major new version to catch attention, like 3D or some other very noticeable change.

How many oldbies are there left?

Oh, and I may not be considered an Oldbie, but I'm still here, and I'll always be here unless the TK suddenly stops working.

I know I've threatened to leave a few times...hell, I've actually taken a few breaks from it, but I know damn well that I"m staying. SPHERE and RM2k3 will never take me away!

Well, some of them have become too busy to use the TK. It happens! Some of them will probably return! These ppl have lives other than the TK.

How many have explicitly said they were leaving, and how many were there in the first place?

Another thing, this is off topic, but who are trigunasha and Zerzic?

Trigunasha and Zerzic were two spammers that everybody hates. TGASHA caused a few fights on Sophia's boards because of his spamming (and constant flaming), and Zerzic just spammed the forums to up his post count.

Zerzic didn't want to reup his count after the forum crash over the summer, and Trigunasha was sick of being flamed by Tosoto and I in the name of revenge.

Was there a post saying that he was leaving? Trigunasha that is. I know there is not for Zerzic because I read the topic Zerzic and he has only one post.

He made no announcement, but common sense says that he left.
